Frances Sykes, president of the Pascale Sykes Foundation, addresses the audience at Gateway Community Action Partnership on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012. The Foundation has provided the Greater Bridgeton Area Transit program a $100,000 grant toward its expansion.

And that includes a $142,000 grant for the Greater Bridgeton Area Transit system for 2013, on the heels of a $100,000 grant last year.

It has enabled Bridgeton to produce a booklet listing every service that can possibly be provided locally.

And who to contact for that service.

The booklet will be placed on the buses for all to read.

Isn’t it great to be dealing with someone who is not government?

Frank Murphine 3rd is home from the hospital.

But not ready to fire up the lawn mower just yet.

—

From a family member:

“Things look better for Frank.

“He wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and cards.

“He woke up from his medically induced coma on Wednesday and spoke about 3 words.

“He began speaking better and remembering on Friday.

“On Saturday, they sent him home.

“The paramedics who worked on him at home, along with his doctors and nurses at Cooper are amazed.

“He is a walking miracle.

“There definitely was some medical and divine intervention.

“Thank you again."
